In the milling crowd I saw him squat beside his little girl,
say something to her, then he stood and fixed a syringe to her feeding tube waiting for
its sustaining drip-drip to drain into his precious child’s afflicted body.

I approached him and
we chatted a little and he told me of their Valley.

I asked his name and
the names of his family…names I had trouble pronouncing so he smiled and said, ‘call
me Job because the English translation of my name is Job’.

I told Job I would pray for him and his family and he
thanked me with a calm sincerity that only a true believer can shine, then replied, 'We believe
in Jesus. We will be okay!’

What a triumphant proclamation this is for all believers; "We believe in Jesus. We will be okay!”

No matter where life's path may lead

or what
others may say,

if we believe in Jesus

we will be okay!

Romans 8:31
What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us!

Some assurance songs to lift our hearts in praise to He who knows all of our days!
